Elijah Clark and McCormick SC

 A lot of today was a Skye day.  We took her down tho the lake for a good long swim & splash session.  Even got her to bring a stick back to shore 6 times!  That’s really good for her.  She’s pretty long on Golden and short on Retriever.  

We went up to McCormick SC, a town about 10 miles north, to see a tire garage about a new valve stem.  That took 10 minutes and $15.  Then a Food Lion grocery store.  An hour and $200 later we came back to camp.  

After lunch Skye got another swim.  She needed a good walk around the park to start drying off after that.

Later this afternoon we got a new neighbor.  He has 4 dogs and a huge Siamese cat with him.  No human company, he left the wife at home.  Oh, wait, she arrived with her own car.  

The jet skis have a great time in this lake.  This is the Storm Thurmond Reservoir in the Savannah River on the GA-SC border.

I tuned in to the Artemis launch just as they reached orbit tonight.  That was about 9 minutes after liftoff. It should make the next several days very interesting   

I started this hours ago.  Then I stayed out in my chair until 9:30.  Nice and comfortable in shorts and T-shirt.  No bugs either.  Occasional thunder!








That’s the driveway to our campsite



She doesn’t rally like that first step.  I used all but one piece of cribbing on the trailer leveling.  Nothing left to make a step!

  1. Sounds like a phew of our Goldens. Our male will play fetch until your arm falls off. Our females will chase the ball but don’t like to bring it back or they just look at you like you have seven heads trying to figure out why you just threw the item by them when they are clearly laying down or sitting for a reason.
    Jetskis are a blast. They make them way too fast nowadays.
    I’m wearing shorts and t shirt but it’s still high of 40’s right now.
